IMPROVEMENT IN SPITTOONS.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 125,641, dated April S), 1872 antedated March 27, 1872.

I, JEROME W. WETMonE, of Erie, in the county of Erie and State` of Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Spittoons, of which the followingis a specification:

The nature and object of my invention are to give a base to the spittoon, so that, without making the main body of it larger, the soiling of the carpet or floor is prevented.

Description of the Accompanying Drawing.

Figure 1, a perspective view of the spittoon and base or flange; Fig. 2, a vertical section through x y a'.

General Description.

A, main body of the spittoon; B,the base of the carpet, oil-cloth, or India rubber; O, opening into the spittoon; d, annular bead to be used in the construction when there is likely to be much fluid to prevent itA from running off of the base.

In the ordinary use of the spittoon it fails in some considerable degree in its purpose because of its insufticient area. The attached oil-cloth or India-rubber base B remedies the difficulty Without rendering the spittoon disagreeable in size and proportions.

Ola/im.

I claim as my invention- The base B, projecting on the floor beyond the body of `the spittoon, substantially as and for the purpose described.

JEROME W. WETMORE.
